I was wondering to myself what the majority of people in this forum follow in terms of food. Do you try to eat clean foods or follow the IIFYM (If It Fits Your Macros) motto? Everyone please vote and let me know what you do!

All the biggest people I've seen don't stick to IIFYM. I'd rather stick to broscience which has shown results than sticking to something that people might disregard completely in a year or two as new studies come out.

They do stick to IIFYM, they do it while eating 'clean' foods, which people then seem to misattribute as being the cause of their success.
If all a professional bodybuilder ate as carbohydrates was rice and bananas would he still see results? Obviously. Would it be because he chose rice and bananas as his carbohydrate sources? Obviously not.
Too many logical errors like this. Person A. eats 1,000 calories a day whilst doing one leg skipping and drops 40lb's. Therefore one leg skipping is the key to weightloss. etc.

Yes, but that's only because IIFYM is the most ambiguous piece of sh*t ever devised. If you eat rice and bananas, it's IIFYM, if you cheesecakes and chocolate, it's IIFYM. If you don't eat processed foods, it's IIFYM and if you eat only processed foods, it's IIFYM. If you care about micronutrients, it's IIFYM, if you don't care about micronutrients, it's also IIFYM, etc

I don't think ambiguity is really the point.
It's not a religion, it can be whatever the individual wants it to be and simply stresses the importance of macronutrient partitioning.
I honestly couldn't give a crap what people choose to eat, provided that they understand WHY they're making progress (which is NOT because they're eating squeaky clean food), and that applies to everything.
If someone wants to eat healthily, that's fine and great, if someone doesn't, that's fine and great.
If someone wants to eat healthily because they think simply the act of eating healthy food drives changes in body composition, then they obviously don't understand the concept of IIFYM.
Informed decision making. Nothing more, nothing less.

There are always omitted variables or variables that haven't been accounted for.
I like to see people make decisions based on facts and science. To make that decision, you need to acknowledge or at least consider the idea of IIFYM. If you then disagree with it, that's fine. If someone disagrees but can't actually rationalise their reasoning, that's dumb.

Ka0s :In my experience, doing heavy barbell squats, bench presses, deadlifts, military presses, rows, etc. builds no significant muscle mass.
What you need to really get big is a solid routine which focuses on light weights and cable movements to really force blood into those muscles and get that deep burn & powerful contraction
